Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Hindustan Republican Association (HRA) was established in October 1924 in Kanpur by revolutionaries including Ram Prasad Bismil, Sachindra Nath Sanyal, and Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee [c2][t3]. Its primary objective was to organize an armed revolution to overthrow the British colonial government and replace it with a 'Federal Republic of the United States of India' based on adult franchise [c2][t6]. The organization's manifesto and its organ, 'The Revolutionary', explicitly proposed an 'organized and armed revolution' to end exploitation [c5][t1]. While the HRA did aim to set up a republican government, the foundational method and immediate functional purpose for which it was organized was the execution of an armed rebellion against imperial rule [t1][t2]. This strategy distinguished it from the non-violent nationalist struggle of the time [c3]. It was only later, in 1928, that the organization was renamed HSRA and formally adopted socialism as its official goal [c1].
